Darkness is in My Soul :: The Person I'm Not

Darkness wraps around my soul,
Shredding me to pieces.
Killing everything I was,
Everything I'm meant to be.
Sometimes the darkness pulls me up,
Just to drop me down.
It kills the soul and life I have,
Making everything around seem sad.
All the warmth and kindness fades away,
Leaving nothing for me to make it through the day.
The darkness steals that which is me,
But one day I'll finally be free.

The Person I'm Not

Feel the hurt inside of me,
Feel the pressure rise.
I look into the mirror,
Tears falling down my face.
I’m not the person I want to be,
Nothing but an image of disgrace.
I want to be the one,
You wish for me to be.
But it’s so hard to be that person,
When that’s not my personality.
You want so much,
I have so little.
I want to be the one YOU are,
But instead I’m the one I am.
Why am I different,
not the same as you?
Why does my face break out in tears,
And why am I filled with this disgrace?
Why is my life like this,
A tale of shame and hurt?
Those things I’ll never know,
Those things I need to forget.
I can’t be the person you want me to be,
I’m barely who I am.
